Looking for the rear e-brake cable brackets......

[1950Johnny]

Haven't had any luck so far. What years interchange with 1985? All the way thru the c4 years, or not quite? These mount near the rear hubs, holds the cables.

GM discontinued them;help

Anyone have a set? Thanks!

You're talking about the L-shaped pivot bracket thingies? Not sure if this is the same as our year, but they look similar:

I did see a couple repro places selling them at Carlisle the last couple times I was there, but I didn't get the company names. Pretty sure Lone Star Caliper (www.lonestarcaliper.com) was one of them, but I don't see that part listed on their website so you might want to call.

I had to get mine from a Vette recycler and soak them in WD-40 for a couple days, when I got my car in 2001. Definitely were made of unobtanium then...

Yeah, it's not the L-shaped pivots. I need the brackets that bolt to the spindles and the cable housings snap into them. Holds the end of the housing in place.
I don't have any to look at, and a really crappy fax from GM, so I can't describe them any better.

If they're not moving parts, just brackets, then your best bet would be to find someone parting out a car on here or another forum site, or contact one of the Vette salvage yards I've used vette2vette.com. You could also try these places, but I haven't dealt with any of them:

Also, Corvette America lists (on page 401 of my not-so-recent catalog) a "Park brake cable bracket, rear, RH and LH", for 88-96 for $6.99 each. Their part numbers are 39083 and 39084. This link off their website has a picture available: http://www.corvetteamerica.com/cf/displaylearnmore.cfm?learnmoreid=296&idlist=296&searchdest=%2Fcf%2Flearnmorelist%2Ecfm%3Fkeyword%3D39083%26Search%2BCatalog%2Ex%3D0%26Search%2BCatalog%2Ey%3D0&subcategoryid=&searchname=Keyword%3A%2039083

Finally, when I want a good idea of what a part looks like, my local dealer will usually print out something from their catalog system for me. But the Corvette America catalog has some decent exploded diagrams as well...
Hope this helps.
